Details:
I made photos in the nova RS Oph area capturing Perseid meteors starting at 19:46 UT on August 8 (2.5 hours early than the first discovery nova report). The last capture in this area was made at 21:24 UT. RS Oph seems to have same magnitude (estimated at +5) during this period.
At 21:23 UT, I captured a Perseid meteor that, in its final part, indicated exactly the direction where the nova was!
